I'm sure the mockingbird recognized her. Did anyone notice he flew past the other girls who looked like her as if to get a closer look just to make sure?

Thomas Jefferson had several pet mockingbirds. His favorite, named "Dick", traveled to France with him and lived in the Exec Mansion office when he was pres. Dick would entertain guests by saying "Want a bath?" and "More 'oap, more 'oap!". (a gentle suggestion about personal hygiene, perhaps?).

Heck, *I* might have trouble distinguishing between the four thin, fair-skinned, blond females.

That is really cool! Was she wearing the same clothes she'd worn when she approached the nest before? I wonder how the mockingbirds can tell her apart from everyone else-- her facial features, her hair, the way she moves...?

Yeah, I was wondering the same...
Please, could anyone (who's involved in the test) answer the question above about the clothes?
